Ricardo Oliveira de Almeida completed on 19th June 2019 the Integrated Master's in Chemical Engineering - Specialization in Biosystems at the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra. At the same year, after an invitation, he started his professional career as a scientific researcher in the same institution. Since then, he was involved, as research fellow, in the MATIS project (Materials and Sustainable Industrial Technologies), funded by Agência para o Desenvolvimento e Coesão, in two distinct periods of time (01/07/2020 to 31/12/20, and 01/09/2021 to 31/12/21). He also participated, for three months, in the FILCNF project (New generation of composite films of cellulose nanofibrils with mineral particles as high strength materials with gas barrier properties), funded by FCT and FEDER. During his career, he also performed inverse gas chromatography analyses and industrial effluent treatments, as provision of services, for Hovione and Altri Group, respectively. He published 5 journal articles in first quartile scopus journals, and presented a conference paper and poster in XXV Tecnicelpa-International Forest, Pulp and Paper Conference, 2021. Currently, Ricardo holds a doctoral scholarship founded by FCT.
